“…Consequently, this article presents theoretical and methodological reflections on what I see as two individual but interconnected issues currently facing translation and translator studies research in archival contexts. 1 The first pertains to the digitization of archives and archival collections, with a focus on the potential risks and rewards of disintermediated digital archives in translation and translator studies research. The second then turns more specifically to the issues of preserving, storing and accessing many of the born-digital sources that have already proven fruitful in contemporary research contexts within more formal archival settings.…”

“…However, as I will demonstrate, opportunities for visibility are by no means guaranteed or free from risk of harm without proper consideration of the systems of power that underpin them. Thus, my 1 These two issues are derived from Jaillant (2022) and, of course, are not the only relevant issues. Rather my focus on the digitization of existing archives and new archives of digital sources serves as an indicator of areas where further theoretical and methodological discussion is necessary.…”

This article presents a discussion of the theoretical and methodological challenges posed by digitization processes and born-digital sources within translation and translator studies research, particularly in archival contexts. It begins by demonstrating how the digitization of archives and source materials remains an undertheorized issue in translation contexts, as well as the need to understand how digitization allows new forms of “peripheral vision” across our research and publication processes. Subsequently, the article problematizes the archiving and use of born-digital sources to research translation and translators, particularly in terms of issues surrounding data collection, access and ethics. In doing so, this article argues that care must be taken to properly understand and preserve the digital sources that will enable archival research in the future, whilst emphasizing the new opportunities presented by digitized and born-digital sources to challenge the invisibility of translation and translators within many of the world’s archives and histories.
